Configure Database Manager

The Configure Database Manager screen is shown when you click on the Configure button on the 'Sparx Systems Cloud Services Configuration Client' dialog. It helps you to modify the various options for the selected Database.

Options

Option

Description

Database Manager

Read-only display showing the description of the database as shown in the 'Database Manager' List. The format of the description quickly describes the database, as shown here:

{odbc provider}:{user}@{datasource}

Enabled

Select this checkbox to allow the Cloud service to respond to requests for the connection.

Alias

The database Alias. This is the value all Enterprise Architect clients will need to select in the 'Model Name' field of the 'Cloud Connection' screen. If necessary, you can edit this Alias to enable users to reference it from Enterprise Architect and WebEA.

Database Type

Read-only display showing the DBMS of the database, such as Firebird, MySQL, Postgres, SQLSvr or Oracle.

Connection String

Read-only display showing the connection string used to connect to the database.

Max Simultaneous Queries

Type in the maximum number of connections that can be open. You can use the up/down arrows to adjust this figure to balance resource usage with concurrent user performance.

There is no explicit limit for this value, but the higher the value the more resources are consumed on your server, without a matching increase in benefit in user performance. Connections are held so briefly that the reduction in user wait time due to more connections being opened is not usually noticeable. If you are reaching the number of connections you have defined here, increase it by small increments (units) rather than large ones (tens).

Minimum EA Build

Optional. If you want to ensure that all users of the model are on an appropriate build of Enterprise Architect, type in the lowest build number required.

OSLC Access Code

Optional. Type in the access code that all OSLC clients, including WebEA, are required to send in an HTTP header.

Leave blank to indicate that the OSLC clients are not required to send an access code.

Require a secure and authenticated connection

Select this checkbox to ensure this database is only used by https connections using http authentication.

Read-only connection

Select this checkbox to prevent users from modifying the database referenced by this connection.

Enable extended OSLC interface for WebEA

Select this checkbox to enable the model for access by WebEA through the Pro Cloud server.

Save

Click on this button to save the settings on the dialog.

Run Scheduled Tasks

Select this checkbox to enable the service to update Time Series charts on a schedule, or any other scheduled tasks that might be supported in the future.
